For these purposes, they may be administered orally or parenterally in such form as tablets, capsules, injectables, or the like by incorporating the appropriate dosage of the compound with carriers according to accepted pharmaceutical practices.

When the compounds of the invention are employed as central nervous system depressants, the dose for humans would be initially about 200 mg., administered two or three times daily. This level would be maintained for 4 to 6 days, and would then be increased to about 400 mg., 2 or 3 times daily, for complete therapeutic maintenance. When the compounds of the invention are employed as stimulants, the dose for humans would be initially about mg., administered 2 to 3 times daily. This level would be maintained for 4 to 6 days, and would then be increased to about 40 mg., 2 or 3 times daily for complete therapeutic maintenance.

The compounds of this invention are also useful as anti-inflammatory agents in warm blooded animals in a manner similar to indomethacin. They may be used to decrease joint swelling, tenderness, pain and stiffness, in mammalian species, e.g., in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. A compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt (when applicable) of the character described above may be compounded according to accepted pharmaceutical practice in oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, elixirs or powders for administration of about mg to 1 gm per day in two to four divided doses.

They may also be used as surface disinfectants. About 0.01 to 1 percent by weight of any of these substances may be dispersed on an inert solid or in a liquid such as water and applied as a dust or spray.

To a solution of 2.86 g of 3-piperidinopropanol in 100 ml oftoluene is added 1.1 g of NaH (50%) and the mixture is heated under reflux for 30 minutes. This is then cooled to 10 and to it is added dropwise a solution of 3.4 g of 3,1 1-dichloro-2,3-dihydro-lH.7H- quino-[8,l-cd][ 1,5]benzoxazepine in 34 ml of toluene. The mixture on similar work up as in Example 1 gives the desired product.

EXAMPLE 5 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-[3-(4-hydroxyethyl)-lpiperazinyl)propoxy]-1H,8H-quino[1,8- ab][4,l ]benzothiazepine, maleate salt (1:1) A 4-Chloro-l,2-dihydro-3H,8H-quino[ 1,8- ab][4,1]benzothiazepin-3-one To a suspension of 18.0 g of 7-chloro-5,l1- dihydrodiben2o[b,e][1,4]thiazepine in 35 ml ofacrylonitrile, cooled to 05, is added with stirring 0.2 ml of Triton B. The suspension becomes homogeneous, the temperature rises to 10, and a red solution results. This is allowed to come to 20 and is then heated under reflux for 1 hour. The excess of acrylonitrile is removed by distillation and the residue is extracted with 5-400 ml portions of diethyl ether. The diethyl ether extracts are dried and concentrated to about 250 ml, and the colorless product is filtered. The filtrate is concentrated and the resulting solid is again filtered. The yield of the combined solids, 7-chloro-5,1 ldihydrodibenzo[b,e 1,4]thiazepine-S-propionitrile, is about 22.0 g.

The 7-ch1oro-5,l 1- dihydrodibenz[b,e][ 1,4 ]thiazepine-S-propionitrile, 71.0 g, is dissolved in 1200 ml of dry dioxane and to this 800 ml of 30% methanolic hydrogen chloride is added. The solution is stirred at 20 for 72 hours, 30 ml of water is added, the mixture is stirred for 0.5 hour, concentrated in vacuo to about 400 ml, filtered, and the filtrate concentrated to dryness in vacuo to yield 67.5 g of methyl,7-chloro-5,l dihydrodibenzo[ b,e l,4]thiazepine-S-propionate.

The methyl, 7-chloro-5 ,1 dihydrodibenzo[b,e 1,4]thiazepine-S-propionate, 25.0 g, is dissolved in 2200 ml of methanol and to this is added a solution of 5.6 g of potassium hydroxide in 300 ml of water. The solution is heated under reflux for.

4 hours, concentrated in vacuo, the residue is dissolved in 600 ml of water, the solution cooled, and then acidified with 2% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The solid is filtered and dissolved in 600 ml of benzene. The solution is decolorized and then extracted with 600 ml of 2% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous extract is acidified with 2% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The solid is filtered and recrystallized from benzene. The yield of 7-chloro-5,l ldihydrodibenzo[b,e][ 1,4]thiazepine-5-propionic acid is about 22.0 g.

A solution of 7.55 g of 7-chloro-5,11- dihydrodibenzo[b,e][ l,4]thiazepine-S-propionic acid in 40 ml of warm benzene is slowly cooled to 35 and while stirring 5.3 g of trifluoroacetic anhydride is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 5 minutes, 50 ml of benzene is added, and the solution is poured into cold water. The benzene layer is separated, the aqueous phase is extracted with 50 ml of benzene, and the combined benzene extracts are concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue, 7.0 g, m.p. about ll0l20, is dissolved in 325 ml of a boiling mixture of 2-propanol and cyclohexane (2:3), and then kept at 20 to give two different types of crystals. These are filtered and the yellow transparent rhombic crystals (compound 1) are separated from the darker yellow flat needles (compound 11).

Compound I is recrystallized from 2-propanolcyclohexane (1:4) to give 2.2 g of 1 l-chloro-l,2- dihydro-3 H,7H-quino-[8,1-cd][1,5]benzothiazepin- 3-one.

Compound 11 is recrystallized from 2-propanolcyclohexane (1:4) to give about 2.6 g of 4-chloro-l ,2- dihydro-3H,8l-l[1,8-ab][4,1]benzothiazepin-3-one.

4-Chloro-2,3-dihydrol H,8H-l l,8-ab][4,l ]benzothiazepin-S-ol.

By following the procedure described in Example 4-C, using 10.0 g of 4-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H,8H-[1,8- ab][4,1]benzothiazepin-3-one, and 1.3 g of NaBH there is obtained 8.2 g of the desired benzothiazepin-3- o1 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-[ 3-(4-hydroethyll piperazinyl )propoxyll l-l,8l-l-quino[ l ,8- ab][4,l ]benzothiazepine, maleate salt (1:1)

To a solution of 5.5 g of 4-chloi'o-2,3-dihydrolH,8H-quino-[ l,8-ab][4,l ]benzothiazepin-3-ol in 100 ml of toluene is added l.0 g of NaH (50%), and the mixture is heated under reflux for 45 minutes, then cooled to 10. To this is added dropwise, a solution of 3.9 g of l-bromo-3-chloropropane and the mixture is heated under reflux for 6 hours. This is cooled, filtered and concentrated to dryness in vacuo to give 5.7 g of the crude 4-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-(3-chloropropoxy)lH,8H-quino[ l,8-ab][4,l lbenzothiazepine, as a viscous oil.
